Carefree (2006)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Sep 02, 1938; Rated: Unrated; DVD Release Date: Oct 24, 2006; With: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

In 1938's Carefree, Fred Astaire's a shrink who tries to cure Ginger Rogers, who doesn't wanna wed Ralph Bellamy. This leads to silly hypnotism gags, but also to ''The Yam,'' a top-notch number that ends with Ginger repeatedly jumping over Fred's outstretched leg while spinning around the room.
